After watching many shows, I have come to the conclusion that I may be a bit of a hoarder. I usually always have one room in the house that is filled to the door with odd stuff. It stays that way for a few months until I do an compete purge and clean it out. I find that every 2-3 months I need to spend a week purging at least one room in the house. Just to note my house never looks like the homes in these pictures.
Recently I tackled my office and filled a van with a load of stuff for the dump as well as a box of garage sale stuff.
What types of things do I hoard?
- old magazines, catalogues, newspapers, fliers
- thousands of pieces of paper with one or two notes on them. Often a phone number or meeting time/ date
- empty boxes and old envelopes
- old tax papers
- clothes, shoes and coats
- shampoo bottles with hardly anything in it
Why do I hoard?
I am a big money saver person. I hate throwing out something that is still good, someone else can use or that I may need again. Seems like once you throw something out, you will need to buy it again.
However, I am not really a true hoarder since I also love to purge. Nothing feels better then cleaning out a room and filling the garbage bags. I love the high I get from getting rid of junk.
P.S
THESE PHOTOS ARE NOT OF MY HOUSE

The first picture was creepy looking :) I am a hoarder too, when it comes to some things. But I, like you, get a thrill of cleaning stuff out. I usually have to be just sick of looking at all before I can get in there and clean it out...but when I clean out...I clean out!
I love that show. It always motivates me. I almost can't make it through a whole episode without geting up and cleaning up something!
those shows do motivate - it is hard to believe a house could get that bad - especially the ones that just have pathways - i think the swell would be the worst part
